lyrics

EMPATHY

So many times I feel an anger
Swelling up inside of me
But now I’m focused on the danger
That it blinds a part of me

So I’m not here to bless you out
To try and change your core beliefs
So let’s put our fingers down
And let’s show a little empathy

We’ve got our tribes, we show our branding
Sometimes for all the world to see
But with truth and understanding
Lies a greater loyalty

And I don’t have it figured out
And I don’t aim to be the priest
Who thinks he’s holier than thou
Oh no, I’m just preaching empathy

(Bridge)
‘Cause you’ll be wrong and so will I
But we can help each other see
When we can find each other’s eye
Reveals sincere humility

So let’s put our fingers down
Before we light another tweet
Have we really thought it out?
And could it spread a little empathy?

So let’s put our fingers down
Before we smoke that bitter meme
Feeling righteous and proud
Well there’s a higher pride in showing empathy

Hope hasn’t died when there’s still empathy
I’m still on your side, the side of empathy
At least we can say we tried to show some empathy
When I get cruel and snide, I hope I will remember…(a little empathy)
Help me to remember…(a little empathy)
Please help me to remember…(a little empathy)
